La Plataforma de Acción Climática en Agricultura de Latinoamérica y el Caribe es un mecanismo regional de colaboración voluntaria de los países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) en agricultura y cambio climático, orientado a un desarrollo agropecuario productivo, adaptado a los efectos del cambio climático, resiliente y bajo en emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero.
The initiative, which was launched in 2019 in the framework of COP25, seeks to generate a regional space for the exchange of knowledge, technologies and collaborative practices in agriculture to support the implementation of domestic climate change policies.
La Plataforma considera las dimensiones sociales, ambientales y económicas para buscar sinergias con las grandes convenciones ambientales, tales como la de Cambio Climático, la Agenda 2030, el Marco de Sendai para la Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres 2015-2030, y las convenciones de Diversidad Biológica y de Lucha contra la Desertificación y la Sequía.
Desde julio de 2023, la Presidencia de PLACA está representada por Mexico, and co-chairmanship by Argentina. The Assembly shall be chaired by the Focal Point of the country in charge of the elected Presidency and co-chaired by the country in charge of the future Presidency.
Thematic working groups ("working groups") are created by decision of the Assembly, to facilitate the Platform's activities and objectives in accordance with PLACA's Founding Charter and will be assisted by the Secretariat. Each working group will develop and implement an action plan to promote and facilitate activities consistent with the objectives of the Platform, the Annual Work Plan and the specific scope of the working group in question. The working groups will present progress and results annually to the Assembly for validation.
Each working group will report its activities to the Secretariat in a standard format every six months, for dissemination to the Assembly and other working groups, in accordance with the Platform's communication policy.
